The Ruby Band, known for their dynamic performances and exceptional musical talent, will hold a special benefit dance concert to raise funds for professional musicians affected by the devastating Los Angeles wildfires of January 2025. This heartfelt event will take place at the historic BAL Theater in San Leandro, California.
“Music is the heart of so many communities, and professional musicians play a vital role in bringing people together and BAL Theater is trying to do its part to aid in this time of calamity,” said Dan Dillman, operator of the BAL Theater. Joel Weingarten, bandleader of Ruby Band, said “After seeing the devastation in Los Angeles, the Ruby Band felt compelled to step up and use their talents to give back to those who have given so much through their art.”
All tips and gratuities will go directly to support musicians who have lost their homes, equipment, and livelihoods in the wake of the wildfires. Funds raised will be donated to the fund set up by The Recording Academy and Musicares Organization to help these artists rebuild their lives and continue sharing their creativity with the world.
If you’re unable to attend but would like to contribute, donations can be made online at https://musicares.org/. Every dollar counts toward helping professional musicians recover from these tragic events.
